    Sherwood Anderson

    Sherwood Anderson (1876-1941) was an American businessman and writer of short stories and novels. Born in Ohio, Anderson was self-educated and became, by his early thirties, a successful salesman and business owner. Within a decade, however, Anderson suffered what was described as a nervous breakdown and fled his seemingly picture-perfect life for the city of Chicago, where he had lived for a time in his twenties. In doing so, he left behind a wife and three children, but embarked upon a writing career that would win him acclaim as one of the finest American writers of the early-twentieth century.

      A mixed bag of stories and definitely inferior to Winesburg, Ohio, but a few (particularly "The Egg") are classics.Note that this particular Kindle edition lacks the title of the final story, "The Man with the Trumpet," so that this final story appears to be a continuation of the penultimate story, "Out of Nowhere into Nothing." There is no actual text missing, but the line "I stated it as definitely as I could" marks the beginning of "The Man with the Trumpet." Nothing to complain about, though, since this Kindle edition (ASIN B0083ZHL56) is a freebie.
